YFCP is putting on another 6-week Young Scientists program at the Southborough Library.
The free STEM program features on “fun-filled” activities to teach Science, Technology, Engineering and Math concepts to 3-6 year olds. It’s a special “enrichment series” program run by STEM Beginnings and funded through the YMCA Family & Community Partnership.
The program is free, but pre-registration is required.
The next session in Southborough will run on Thursdays from 1:15 – 2:00 pm, beginning this January 23rd and running through March 6th (skipping February 20th).
Participants learn STEM concepts “through hands-on activities, story time, challenges and simple experiments”
Parents/caregivers are must attend and “are encouraged to help their child and join in the fun”. Siblings are also welcome but must be supervised.

The instructors, promote their programs as making learning fun:
Our main goal is to introduce STEM-related concepts through effective instruction and enjoyable activities. We always believe that children learn best when they are having fun.
We also believe that the creation of a fertile ground for learning starts during a child’s early years. We aim to stimulate young minds and inspire them to create and cultivate curiosity toward these disciplines. As a result, we hope to be able to contribute in shaping their intellectual development, opportunities for future study, and choices of career, as well as their capability to make informed decisions in the future.
